Hummingbirds...A Sneak Peek. And, A Giveaway!

Labels: , ,

Recently, my in-laws made the trip from Oklahoma to Colorado.  We planned a camping trip to the beautiful area of Monument Lake, which is near Cuchara, Colorado.  The mountains are stunning, and the temperature was about thirty degrees cooler.  Ahhh.

 More photos of the camping trip later.

 For now, I want to share these awesome little hummingbirds who just couldn’t get enough of our feeder.  And I just couldn't get enough of watching them.

I took tons of pictures, but will just force you to look at a couple.  For now.

 AND, I have a giveaway to tell you about!











 Last month, I was the lucky winner of a giveaway by the lovely and talented  Dianna over at These Days Of Mine .  She passed along a book she won in a giveaway over at The Simple Life Of A Country Man's Wife.       .



Dianna thought it would be fun to keep the giveaway going, with each winner writing a note on the inside cover and passing it on in another giveaway!

The book is Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt,  by Beth Hoffman.  It made the New York Times Bestseller list, and rightfully so.


I have been completely carried away with this book. Once I found the time to sit still long enough to get started, I couldn't put it down!   It was hilarious, and yet, it tugged on my heartstrings in a major way.  It was one of those books I didn't want to end.  The winner of this giveaway, will love it!  I promise :)


Just leave a comment on this post and you are automatically entered.

 Winner will be announced Thursday.



Have a great week!!

  6. I love the image of your hummmingbirds. We don't have these beautiful creatures here in Australia so it was lovely to see them. They are so much more tiny than I was expecting. The book sounds interesting and that's a lovely idea xx
